I have served with Greater Manchester Police for 19 years and currently work as the neighbourhood officer for Claremont, Weaste and Seedley. My role involves working with residents, local businesses and partner agencies to address crime, anti-social behaviour and other issues affecting the local community.
My current priorities include tackling retail crime, reducing anti-social behaviour and improving community confidence through visible neighbourhood policing. I regularly attend engagement events and community meetings and work closely with partner organisations to identify and resolve local issues.
I encourage residents to speak with me at local events and share any concerns so we can work together to improve the area.
I am a fully operational Police Constable with Greater Manchester Police, currently serving on the Neighbourhood Central Team 2 in Pendleton, Salford. Having joined the organisation five years ago, I have spent the last three years working in neighbourhood policing, supporting the communities of Duchy and Claremont.
My role is centred on reducing crime, addressing community concerns, and helping residents feel safe in the areas where they live and work. I gather and develop intelligence to identify emerging issues and support effective policing strategies. I also work closely with partner agencies, including local authorities, schools, housing providers, and support services, to tackle complex and persistent problems.
By focusing on long-term solutions, crime prevention, and community engagement, I aim to build public confidence in policing, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to creating safer neighbourhoods for all residents.
I have served with Greater Manchester Police for over eight years, currently work as a Police Community Support Officer. During my service, I have worked across several wards currently Weaste & Seedley and Claremont and Duchy, developing strong relationships with residents, partners and community groups.
Community engagement is a key part of my role, and I regularly visit schools, faith settings, housing providers and local organisations to address concerns, gather intelligence and build trust. I organise and promote police surgeries, encouraging meaningful engagement with local policing.
Through visible foot patrols, problem-solving and partnership working, I have helped improve community confidence and information sharing. I regular update updates, crime prevention advice and community information on Bee in the Loop.
